HER FIRST APPEARANCE IN DURHAM
This distinguished artistic was born
on a famous Kentucky farm known
as "The Forest Retreat" midway be-
tween Paris and Lexington, and be-
gan her professional career at Gin.
cinnati, Ohio, ten years ago appear
ing in the same line of characters in
which she has since become so famous
Her debut was one of the grandest
successes ever known to the Ameri.
can public, and her annual tours
throughout all the principle cities en-
route, has been almost an ovation
throughout her whole career. Tall,
elegant of figure, with beauty Of face,
musical information, magnificent stage
presence, and most charming man
ners, Miss Prescott forms the very
ideal of Shake spearean characters, or
any other of a classic characters.
Miss Prescott will be seen as
"Galatea' an animated statue, in the
grand comedy Of Pygmalion and
Galatea," written by w. s. Gilbert,
the famous composer Of "Pinafore, /"
"The Mikado,' etc.
Miss Prescott has no superior In
the line of characters she assumes aud
her engagement in Durham means q
rare treat to all lovers Of the legiti-
mate.
X. ID. Mclean, the principel sup
port is native of New orleans and
has been Miss Prescott's chief sup.
port for The past ten years. He is Of
robust manly physique, handsome
stage presence, and a voice which is
inimitable as to power, Mr.. Mclean
will appear as Pygmslion" the Sculp.

FRANK Bridgers, a colored man,
of Lebanon township, lost a fue hog.
1t was found dead in the pen. Three
or four hours passed before it was re-
moved, and Frank was dumfounded
on seeing three greenish snakes crawl
from its mouth.
Bonnie Meyer is equal to the
occasion. She stopped Ia a most pa
thetic part Of the drama Rebel Chief

exclaimed, "Young men, if you will
not behave, get out. We give this
entertainment for the benefit ofladies

was not further disturbed.
The Department. Of Agriculture
has made especial inquiry as to the
estimated yield of tobacco, in pounds,
per acre. 1t was found that the aver
age Of tie counties growing tobacco
is 1881 pounds to the acre. Enquiry
as to Che average price realized for
this product in the same counties
gives as the result ,10s cents to the
to the pound. This estimate may be
a fraction large, as some of the COR
respondents left the question unan-
swered, but that Is the average of
those reporting.
Returning home last night we
heard lovely young woman sing a
song. 1t was a lovely song and
sounded like all other songs that have
been sung. In sound it must have
been a French opera. We we're hit
by a chunk Of sadness as big as a
barn yard door, and have been sad
all daY, but there breathes no man
with soul SO dead, could he have heard
that song, would not have said, it was
most lovely sung.
